What are French saucy terms ?

I have compiled this short list of common saucy slang words. Most of these words are offensive in most contexts and I would not use them – ever. Nevertheless, these are French words and are pretty common in today’s French literature, radio and TV broadcasts, and in movies.

A note on offensive words: it seems that the English translation of many French slang words comes out much more offensive in English than it does in French. It seems, the French use their slang words more freely, and sometimes words sound really bad in English, they don’t carry the same onus in French.
